Sure. Please see my code snippet below.
use CGI ':standard';
generate_form();
do_work();
sub generate_form {
print start_form;
print "ID# ", textfield('id');
print submit('Action', 'OK');
print end_form;
}
sub do_work {
if (param('Action') eq 'OK') {
# fetch record from database using id ...
print "Phone number ", textfield('phone');
} elsif (param('Action') eq 'Update') {
my $new_phone_num = param('phone');
# update database with newly acquired info ...
}
}

Hard to say what the problem is without seeing some code. Can you post a
snippet of code that does not work as expected?
